Water-based acrylates copolymer rheology modifiers market trends:


The demand for various applications worldwide, along with the growing production of oil and shale exploration, is the main factor driving the growth of the rheological modifier's market. Rheological modifiers are the main ingredient in paints, coatings, glues, sealants, cosmetics, and personal care products. Therefore, the growing demand for these applications is a significant driver of the rheological modifier market.


Choice of rheological modifiers for coatings and paints


Rheological modifiers are indispensable additives used in almost all coatings to achieve the desired rheological characteristics for a particular application. In addition to obtaining the desired viscosity, these additives also help control the paint board's stability, weakening, ease of application, and open time / wet edge.


But choosing the right rheological modifier for your formulation can be complex, considering existing regulations.


Proportion b / w viscosity and rheology of coatings and pigments


Rheological modifiers are added during the production process, mainly before the spreading stage - quantity and type adapted to the spreading equipment - to obtain an ideal flow behavior for the mill's base. If the pigments are separated in a very thin medium, a turbulent flow behavior occurs, which causes a large loss of the energy supplied, so it is not ideally used for the dispersion process.


During storage, the ink must have a viscosity high enough so that the heavy pigment particles do not dissolve. Similarly, by adjusting the viscosity, many characteristic application properties are determined, for example:


The leveling and flow Twist brusqueness and strength, as well as film opacity and thickness


The rheological behavior of a system in various conditions is described by a viscosity profile, showing the viscosity as a function of the applied shear conditions.


Newtonian flow defines a system where the viscosity is at the indicated temperature and pressure constant, regardless of the applied time and shear rate. Therefore, a single viscosity measurement will provide a true value for viscosity; the shear force is directly proportional to the sheer speed. Examples of Newton's liquids are pure water and solvents.


Pseudoplasticity is a form of structural viscosity, illustrated by a decrease in viscosity as the shear rate increases. Most varnishes and paints show some pseudoplastic flow behavior (scissor dilution)!


Application of cosmetics and personal care to witness the fastest growth during the forecast


Based on the application, the market for rheological modifiers has been segmented into paints and coatings, cosmetics and personal care, glues and sealants, home care and R&I products, construction, paints, medicines, oil, and gas, and others. The cosmetics and personal care segment are designed to record the largest increase in value and the volume of the global rheological modifier market. Rheological modifiers are used primarily as thickeners in many applications in cosmetics and personal care, including makeup products, skin creams, foundations, and personal care products. The concentration of rheological modifiers depends on the application of the products. In recent years, the cosmetics and personal care industry has been driven primarily by increased disposable income and lifestyle changes. Emerging countries have great potential for international companies that offer products of higher quality than those produced locally. Multinational companies have begun to establish a solid base in countries such as Russia, India, and China.


The organic segment is designed to be the fastest market type of rheological modifier during the forecast.


Organic is expected to be the fastest-growing rheological modification segment during the forecast period. Based on the type, the most commonly used rheology modifiers are organic and inorganic rheology modifiers. Organic rheology modifiers are more diverse in chemistry and availability than inorganic rheology modifiers and are based primarily on natural raw materials. They were classified into two main types, natural and synthetic. The demand for organic rheology modifiers is very high in all applications. This is mainly due to its high yield and ecological nature. Organic rheology modifiers can be used in a wide range of media, such as water-based systems, solvent-based systems, and solvent-free systems.
